Kojima Productions boss Hideo Kojima has expressed interest in seeing a Silent Hill game created on his studio’s new FOX Engine.

“Silent Hill movie that I borrowed from Murashu as the next sequel is coming out,” said Kojima on his [broken] English Twitter account. “It would be a scary game if we make Silent Hill game on FOX engine!”

He continued: “Silent Hill is in closed room setting and doesn’t require full action so that we can focus on the graphic quality. Enemy doesn’t have to be a lot or move fast. It only requires scariness by graphics and presentation. As being a creator making action game in open world, such game is very enviously attractive. Wish someone could create this on FOX engine.”

As pointed out by NeoGAF‘s Levito, Masahiro Ito, art director for the first three Silent Hill games, favorited the first tweet. Perhaps a FOX Engine-based Silent Hill isn’t too far off?

as interesting as this sounds..i’d much rather him be working on the more important titles//for now atleast

He’s not saying it’s something he’d like to make. He’s saying it’s something he’d like to see happen – most likely by another team. The next generation of Pro Evolution Soccer games, for example, will use Fox Engine, but Kojima’s team won’t be the ones making it. :]
